Diplomatic circles in Washington are
gossiping what is said to be a slight
to Prince Leopold Of Germany by the
United States Government. The prince
did not go to Washington, as he intend
ed, and it is said that the. cause Of his
change Of plan lay in the fact that
the government took no notice Of his
presence in this country.

TIE GRENELL bill for the promotion of
the purity of elections, which passed the
house last Wednesday is a complicated affair
and, if il should become law, will be quite
apt to fall short of the purpose for which it
is intended. 1t provides that state, county
and local tickets shall be printed in different
colors. each ticket to contain the names of
all candidates who have been placed in nom
ination for the respective offices mentioned
on such ticket, with designation of the
party by which they were nominated; that
all tickets shall be prepared by public author.
ity that each voter shall be furnished set
Of tickets by one Of the election inspectors
after which he shall retire by himself into a
private room and there make mark oppo-
site the name of each candidate for whom he
desires TO cast his vote. This scheme in
wolves an immense amount of machinery, is
altogether too complicated, would prove a
slow and tedious process and cause an almost
interminable amount of labor in canvassing
the vote. Some law should be enacted to
prevent fraudulent voting and fraudulent
canvassing, but there certainly should be
some more simple and feasible system than
that proposed by Mr.. GRENELL.

CONTRARY to the general expectation, the
house, on Wednesday last, passed the local
option bill 10y ifty-one affirmative votes, ex-
actly constitutional majority. OF these
votes, forty-fve were cast by republicans and
six by members of the opposition. Nineteen
republicans were found among the forty
members who voted in the negative; or, to
put it little palmer, forty-fiye republicans
fairly represented the wishes of their con-
s.ituents, while nineteen of them chose to
misrepresent not only their party, but the
people of the state. The people will honor
the ffty-one members who dared to say by
their votes that, in all counties where the
people desire it, the saloon must 60, and they
will also remember those who voted against
the measure but, perhaps, in way that will
not be altogether pleasing to them. If the
senate shall only forget little of its con-
servatism, in which it takes so much pride,
and pass the bill as il comes from the house,
long step will have been taken in the direc-
ton of banishlng the traffic from our state.
We hope it may do so, but we fear it may
not. The bill provides that a special election
shall be held on petition of one-ffth of the
voters in a county, and if at such election a
majority of the votes cast shall be in favor of
prohibition, in such county the traffic shall
thereafter be unlawful and shall not be per-
mitted Should the bill become law, there
is little doubt that prohibition wonld soon be
adopted in large portion of Michigan, and
that the day would not be far distant when
full. complete and successful prohibition
would become the settled policy of the state.
Speed the day.

That there is some force in the position
taken by Governor LUCE in reference to the
university appropriation bill is certainly
true, and we believe it would have been
wisdom on the part of the Legislature to have
acted on the governors suggestion that the
bill be recalled and reconsidered The uni
versity is the pride of the state but it is al
together too extravagant in its demands and
the appropriation is unnecessarily large and
should have been reduced, but we do not
understand how the governors veto can be
justified. There seems now TO be but one
alternative. either the bill must be passed
over the veto or the university must go
wholly unprovided for. The senate, taking
this view of the case, has already passed the
bill by the necessary two-thirds vote and it
is to be hoped the house may take the same
course. While an extravagant appropriation
is TO be deprecated, it would be still more
unfortunate to injure the greatest education
al institution of the state by making no pro-
vision whatever for its maintenance.

The question whether or not the people
have any rights that railroad company is
bound to respect, was settled in the negative
on Friday last by the Michigan senate. The
MANLY two cent fare bill and all other meas
of a similar character were defeated. The
interstate commerce law which, with its
"long haul and its "short haul as interpreted
by the companies, evens up freights by put
ting up the long haul instead of reducing the
short haul, and equalizes passenger rates by
compelling all passengers to pay the highest
prices, and the refusal of the senate to pro-
vide for measures of relief indicates that the
companies not only own their roads. but
pretty nearly the entire earth. Railroads as
servants are excellent things, but as masters
they are despotic and tyrannical.

TIE GAZETTE has received from Mess

THE GAZETTE has received from Messrs
Latham, Alexander & Co., bankers and
cotton commission merchants of New
York, copy Of the fourteenth annual edi.
ton of their cotton book for this year,
showing the cotton movement and fuctu-
atoms Of 1886. This cotton book contains
their annual letter reviewing the business
OF the past cotton year and discussing the
prospects of the new crop and the bust
ness outlook for the coming year. Itslso
contains two interesting and valuable ar
ticles On cotton and cotton prospects,
written by Thomas Ellison of Liverpool
specially for this book. It has also The
usual carefully prepared tables showing
the fluctuations of cotton contracts and
cotton in this country and Europe, and
the receipts, exports and general move
ment of cotton for several years past.
The book also has much other informa-
ton bearing on Gotten, the whole forming
the most complete, concise and practical
cotton reference book published.

TIE people OF Fort Worth have been
very patient under the inadequate service
rendered by the waterwo1ks in considera-
ton of full pay. But in return the wafer
works management should treat the peo-
pie fairly and not require pay when no
service is given. For nearly an entire year
the people have borne an unsatis-
factory service, bu. if the works are to
be maintained as an object of charity, lei
it be done by direct taxation, so that the
burden will fall on all in proportion to
their property interests, and not on those
who have been patient and long suffer
ing. Justs little consideration for justice
and fair dealing, such as characterize in
dividusls in their dealings with each
other, would silence many rumors.

COLONEL GRANTS ORAToRY.

Brevity is said to be the soul Of wit,
and if so the Republican candidate for
Secretary of State, Colonel Fred Grant, is
the greatest wit of modern times. In
opening the campaign he was called upon
for speech, and, in responding, said,
"Should be elected in November will
try and show that l have inherited the
ability of my father, and be faithful to
the trust imposed in me-" and retired
amid a'storm of applause. It is possible
that Colonel Grant has inherited the abil-
ity of his illustrious father in other things,
but it Is certain that he has succeeded
to his style of oratory. General Grant
was not man of many words. Almost
any CROSSROADS politician could discount
him speech-making, and his sententtous
utterances seldom gave any evidences OF
that superior mental power which con-
ceived them. General Grant speaks loud
est and most eloquently in deeds.
His acts are accomplished facts
that no one can gainsay. II the con of
the old warrior is as successful as pub
lie servant as his father was as soldier
ne will serve his people well. 1t is to be
feared, however. that Colonel Grant,
while he may possess ordinary, or even
extraordinary abilities, will never win
the luster which WAS the good fortune
and just reward OF his father. Colonel
Grant may be great man but there are
no circumstances to develop him. He
may make a good secretary Of state, if
elected, and that is about all that he can
reasonably expect in these piping times
Of peace.

Mr EvAr,s' Laugh.
New York Star,


Mr.. EVarts is reported as having
laughed at the Democratic claims that
there was now taxation TO the extent OF
500, 00O, 900 year, and saying thst the
American people could not feel it, for II
was only 81 sc cents apiece year.
True enough! The annual surplus tax
alton which has gone into the treasury
may be only that sum for esch msn, wo-
man and child, but By locking II the
Gressury vaults the gold, silver and cur
rency paid for taxes such currency fam
inc and business distrust were created IS
to alarm every bank officer, merchant and
business man in our city. What else
compelled, or seemed to compel, the ex-
trordinsry offer for government bonds
made by the treasury? And this distrust
is by no means cured, or the peril even
passed, as Mr.. Evsrts, away up in Yer
mont, may yet discover!
But 81 &c apiece is not the full measure
of this surplus taxation which bears on
workingmen, who, by reason Of it, are
compelled TO pay st least so per cent.
more for clothing and blankets than IN
English workingmsn pays for his. Here
is little list of the taxes Inflicted On the
American Wage-esrner, for which Mr..
EYsrts has nothing but laughter:

Travellers Methods.

American Commercial Traveller.
SHOW do travelling statesmen gel
goods?" is question easily and Otter
asked, but with difficulty answered. In.
deed, there may be a different answeIltrom
almost every man who travels, and yet nc
single explanation that would apply to
all cases. Two general divisions might
be made, however, in the methods of
selling merchandise, and this is the way
an old traveller divides them:
"There are good many successful
travelling men who always make it their
practice to 60 for business right away as
soon as they enter the store. There is no
waste Of time and words in idle talk or
congratulations, but samples are st once
shown, and then it is: Il can sell you
these goods at such and such figure; 10
you want any at those figure? No? Very
well; how about these2 Or these? There
is no dicker about the price, and 1t is
no use for the buyer to try and bluff
the salesman. The buyer knows
his man and knows that what he
says is final. If he sees bargain that he
wants he takes it as offered, knowing tnat
he can do no better with the salesman.
There are lots of men who pursue this
straight forward policy and never attempt
to beat about the bush, and they sell big
bills of goods. Often, however, they are
not so successful until they become
known 20 the buyers, but they generally
manage to get what they are after. Then
there is the other extreme. Instead
of talking business st the start, the
salesman, if he has big buyer in tow,
spends q daV with his man seeing
the sights and generally enjoying him
self, but never q word OF business. There
is nothing but pleasure for the first day.
When the buyer has been well warmed
up and Is in good humor the salesman
steps in to bid him good-by, and just as
he is on the point of leaving he mentions
casually that he has some fine bargains in
certain lines, and in q very in
cidental manner calls attention
to the goods. When he finally does
depart he takes with him q goodly
order, which he has secured in q very nm
obtrasive manner and without apparent

Special Correspondence of the Gazette.
MoBEETIE, Tx, Oct. Il The report
comes from OchiitIee county that the
msusgers Of the Cress we'll Land and Cat
tie Company has ordered all the settlers
within that compauy'S pasture, to the
number Of about $50, to get out under
psin Of al iEf.cLion Of the supposed
penalty Of the pew land lSw. This COM
pany has heretofore maintained friendly
relations with the settlers under the
direction Of its late general manager, Mr..
Il. w. Cresswell. He was uniformly
kind TO them; gave them work in the
round-ups: offeIe no resistance to their
settlement within his enclosure, and was
universally popular. Mr.. CressWen has
sold out his interest in the company and
retired from it. The pasture OF the COM
psnV is very large one, including about
100000 acres. IE mas had
leased for some time the most CT the
alternating private sections which it did
not OWN, Snd has leased the school lands
under the new law. Wolf creek, one Of
the finest streams in the Panhandle, runs
through the heart Of the pasture, and the
settlers who have been ordered out are
scattered along this stream. They have
been unable to purchase the land from
the state heretofore because, being wa
tered, it was not on the market. The
lessee is Scottish company.

hall is as good for the purpose as
could he desired. The city now owns
25x100 feet on Rusk, and by purchasing
an adjoining twenty-f feet would have
all the ground needed for the purpose.
1hree-story building, 5ox100 feet,would
afford all the accommodations requisite,
and THE GAZETTE feels confident that the
contamination of the substitution thus
crudely and briefly suggested would meet
the hearty appreciation of the citizens
who have given thought to the urgent
demand for nigh school accommodations.
